As I looked down at the revised production budget of , I couldn’t help but curse my stubbornness. Not only had my father saved me $50k by offering cameras and other equipment, but he had also gone over each item on the list, struck out those that he thought were unnecessary, and suggested cheaper alternatives. When he was done, our final budget of $1m had come down to $920k. So instead of being over budget by $150k, I was saving $80k.“You won’t save this money either,” Dad had said after finalizing…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- It took some time, but finally, life was back to normalcy. I had heard somewhere that time heals all wounds. There is no substitute for a departed loved one, especially a parent, but people get used to living without them after a particular point. Evan adapted to living with us rather quickly. One thing I found strange was his insistence on fast-tracking his education using private tutors.“I don’t think this is a good idea,” Mum said slowly after listening to Evan’s request.Evan was ready with his…

- Ring Ring“Hello?” Mum answered the phone in our living room, “Yes, this is his mother, Kathy.”She paused for a moment before a blinding smile lit up her face. “Oh, that’s wonderful news. Of course, we can come down to discuss terms. Tomorrow? Yes, that’s doable.”As soon as she put down the phone, she gave me the beaming smile she usually did. “You got the part!”Although it was the third movie I’d be doing and the second movie involving an audition, I still felt elated at the…

is the best coming-of-age movie you’ll see this year Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Rating: 4/4 I had no idea what I was getting into when I walked into the premiere of . I was told by the trailers and the controversy that arrived just before the film’s release that it would be about sex, but it’s so much more than that. It’s a mirror to our society. The beginning of the tale is one that every red-blooded male would know: the urge to lose his virginity before his friends during his teenage…- 278.0 K • Ongoing
- “Hey, gang, what’re we doing?” I asked cheerfully as I sat opposite Ricky Gervais and his co-star Ashley Jensen. The latter, a beautiful woman in her mid-thirties, played the female lead in the show—the woman my character was currently lusting after.“Just eating,” Ashley replied.“Sweet.” I nodded confidently before leaning forward. “Look, thanks for covering my arse earlier. The offer still stands.”“What offer?” she asked, bewildered.“You know.” I gave her a meaningful look.…

- August 2003, Universal Studios, Los Angeles“Troy!” The old man behind the table stood up and walked over to me as if we had known each other our whole lives. Then he proceeded to shake my hand vigorously.“Ron,” I greeted with a fake smile. “Nice to meet you again.”“Of course,” Ron nodded magnanimously after separating from me. “I was so disappointed you left early during 's post-Oscar party. I had planned to discuss more projects with you and your parents.”“I had to start shooting for…

- One moment I was lifting Emily into the air, the next she was trying to attack me with everything she had. “Put me down!” she cried, panic sharp in her voice. Her hands turned into frantic, metaphorical claws, swiping wildly and coming within an inch of scratching my face clean off. So, of course, I put her down. The instant her feet touched the ground, she curled in on herself like she was trying to disappear, then bolted off the set without a word. She didn’t even pause to explain what had…

- I stood inside the semi-truck just as a crew member opened the door. I leaned lazily against the side, a determined expression on my face as I fired continuous shots at the car speeding beside us. I wouldn’t have been so lax about safety if they hadn’t secured me with ropes to the other side of the truck. Thanks to that, there was no risk of falling out—even if I wanted to.The gun in my hand was, as usual, a fake. It just emitted flashing lights—no actual gunshot sounds. Those would be added in…

- My lips were locked with Scarlett’s as a production assistant poured a big bucket of fake blood over us. I didn’t stop for even a second and even pulled her closer to me. I won’t lie, the whole scene was a little bit of a turn-on for me. Being wet with sticky red corn syrup while making out with the woman of my dreams was just about perfect. Was it a little gross that I was licking corn syrup off her body? The corn syrup part was; her body wasn’t, so I was actually enjoying it quite a…
